Salomon Hiking Boots

Salomon hiking boots for Irish hills

Irish hill days rarely stay dry or even underfoot. Salomon hiking boots are built for exactly that kind of wet, uneven ground, with a waterproof membrane to keep the weather out, a stable chassis to steady each step and a grippy outsole that holds the line on rock and mud. The range runs from quick afternoon walks to full days on the hill, in men's and women's fits.

GORE-TEX membranes keep feet dry on wet ground

Every boot in the range uses a GORE-TEX membrane, so rain, bog and stream crossings stay on the outside while feet stay dry. The membrane is breathable too, letting heat and moisture escape on the climb so boots feel comfortable rather than clammy. On the soft, saturated ground common across Irish trails, that dry, breathable barrier makes a long day far more comfortable.

Contagrip outsoles steady you on rock and mud

Salomon's Contagrip outsoles are designed to grip across mixed surfaces, from greasy rock and wet roots to loose gravel and deep mud. The lugs bite into soft ground for traction on the climb and hold firm on the descent, where slips are most likely. That sure footing lets you move with confidence whether the trail is rocky, boggy or somewhere in between.

A stable chassis reduces fatigue on long days

Inside each boot, Salomon's Advanced Chassis sits between the midsole and outsole to guide the foot and add stability over uneven ground. It keeps the foot supported through each stride, which means less twisting and less fatigue as the miles add up. On a full hill day with a pack, that steady platform helps legs stay fresher for longer.

Mid-cut support protects the ankle

A mid-cut height wraps the ankle for added support on rough, rocky ground and under the weight of a loaded pack. The Quest offers the most support for big days and heavier loads, while the Elixir Activ Mid is a lighter take for faster walks and easier trails. Both hold the heel and ankle securely so you stay steady when the ground turns awkward.
